Nine Hundred and Twelve Approachable

London in the early morning is stained with a trace of solemnity and coldness. The sky in May is still gray, but the streets in the early 8 o'clock are extremely busy. The city streets in the morning peak are like a crowded siege, and people outside are bustling. Trying to get in, the people inside get lost in it.

The roar of the engine and the roar of human voices are entangled under the large blue-gray area, the noise in the depression, the silence in the boiling, the contradictions are harmoniously integrated.

Next to the Almeida Theater is no exception. There are huge queues around the small theater, and there is no end in sight. The gate of the theater is only fifteen meters away, and the entire street is only less than eighty meters away, but at this time the queue has already twisted and twisted all the way, surrounding the entire theater and the entire building complex along the street, with at least three theaters. , two restaurants and several facades were all included, and the square street was caught in a snake-like encirclement.

Even in the peak tourist season of mid-summer July, London's West End hasn't seen such pomp for years.

In a trance, it seems that we have returned to the 1930s and 1940s again. Going to the theater is still one of the important pastimes of people. In order to watch a play, people will choose clothes and read manuals a week in advance, and their expectations will rise early. Get up; then wait for the day of the play and go out in costume.

Back then, theaters were the equivalent of today's movie theaters. No, it's equivalent to today's YouTube, or a computer screen.

However, the glory of the past is no longer to be found. Today's Almeida Theatre, today's West End of London, is so abnormal, the streets during rush hour, in the sight of coming and going, are curious and surprised, confused and expect; Added an item.

Marc Lacante and his friends arrived at the Almeida Theater early, hoping to grab the front row seat as soon as possible, but it was still too late at 4:30 in the morning, and a dozen tents had been set up at the entrance of the theater. Prepared for a protracted battle early, eager to grab the tickets as soon as possible.

Such a frenzy is like the premiere of "Star Wars", or the launch day of Apple's new mobile phone.

During the long wait, it was not boring or restless, on the contrary, everyone was so excited and excited, they couldn't wait to share their experiences and opinions, discuss Renly's works, and discuss Lanly's work. Li's deeds and discuss Renly's experience.

"Renly-Hall", the name became a bridge between them, awakening a deep resonance.

"The shock brought by 'Transcendence' came from the story, and Renly's performance refined and sublimated the whole theme; and the shock brought by 'Crazy in Love' came from resonance, and Renly's performance truly Shows the purity and complexity of love. In my opinion, the performances of the two works are comparable.

"

It was a young girl named Cara-Hausman who was eloquently speaking. She was studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, majoring in acting. She looked like she was only about twenty years old, with a thin and small body. There is a powerful energy in it, and when it comes to performance, it is even more eloquent.

By the way, she arrived earlier than Mark and the others, and was one of the first ten loyal fans who arrived at the entrance of the theater to camp.

"Have you watched 'Transcendence'?" Kristin Schutler's eyes suddenly brightened, "Then you must have met the young master in Berlin and met him face-to-face, right? He is such a gentleman! I mean Yeah, he's such an approachable actor, God, I want to scream right now."

Kara Hausman drooped his shoulders angrily and sighed, "I missed it." That depressed expression seemed to miss the whole world.

"What! You missed it!" Kristin finally couldn't stop and began to scream, "God, God! I can't believe, you missed it! Master will go to the cinema every day to watch the exhibition works, no luck at all , you can meet him just by waiting there, and he has no air at all and is very willing to participate in our discussion. Jesus Christ, how could you miss it?”

Carla became more and more annoyed, and buried her cheeks in her hands. "I was so busy running between the theaters that I didn't even have time to eat, so I completely forgot about it." When the festival ended, I regretted it. The intestines are all green, but they can't go back. "I have a lot of questions to ask him, and a lot of topics to communicate..."

"Maybe, you can ask me now."

There was a man's voice in his ear, as low as a cello, but with a faint smile, like the ripples left by sunlight passing through the strings; Carla vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. , just raised his head and said extremely depressed, "You can't answer, don't tell me, are you going to send an email to..."

The words behind him were stuck in his throat like this, and he stared blankly at the man in front of him, dumbfounded, unable to make a sound. Carla only felt that her brain was like a mess. She blinked her eyes, but she didn't know how to react. All she heard was the sound of her heart beating violently, puff, puff...

It's not just Carla. At this time, the noise and hustle and bustle of the whole street is slowly fading. Mark, Christine and others are also dumbfounded, their eyes are rounded, they can't believe their own eyes, the surprise and sluggishness , with the theater entrance as the center, slowly spread out, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

At this time, the man who appeared in front of him was tall and straight, with a clear face, a simple white T-shirt with jeans, a pair of sky blue skateboard shoes, and was stepping on a black skateboard, casually on his right shoulder. Carrying a backpack on the ground, under the cloudy and misty sky in London, like a ray of refreshing golden sunlight, it attracted all the attention, and the light of astonishment and panic flashed in everyone's eyes.

Renly, on the other hand, was also confused.

This morning, according to the original plan, I came to the theater for a live rehearsal. There are only a few days left until the premiere. They have to rehearse with real guns on the theater stage, make sure that they can adapt to the space of the stage and the environment of the theater, etc., but after the subway station came out, Renly saw this. The turbulent and exaggerated long queue.

Originally, there was a back door for actors to enter the theater. In the back alley of the theater, there is a special exit for actors; after the performance, the truly experienced and enthusiastic fans will come here and wait for thirty or forty minutes, expecting to see their favorite and admired ones. Actors, get up close and personal.

But at this time, the back alley was completely blocked. Out of curiosity, Renly followed the group all the way to the entrance of the theater, and then saw the tightly closed door and the tents lined up at the entrance. Such a scene was unimaginable.

Not that Renly hadn't seen it. At the Toronto Film Festival, such scenes are not uncommon; but a movie is a movie, and a drama is a very different thing. What's more, the theater still had a normal performance last night, and it was a curtain call performance; such a queue would inevitably affect the entry and exit of other audiences - even if they opened the main space of the theater's door, they just used the door as a sign. Start queuing up.

"What the hell is going on here? If I remember correctly, the pre-sale of tickets should be tomorrow, right?" Renly followed the line, because there were too many people in line, at least five or six hundred people. Queues to buy tickets, which is appalling enough; or twenty-four hours in advance? This is the Arabian Nights! "Or did I get the date wrong?"

Renly's question, unanswered, because everyone looked caught off guard and panicked, made Renly laugh, "Hey Mark, Kristen, hey guys. It's not the first time we've met. , right?" When they met at the Berlin Film Festival before, they didn't behave so abnormally, so what happened today?

This simple greeting not only did not make everyone come back to their senses, but Katarina Koffler, who was next to him, cried out with a "wow", which caught Renly by surprise, and he couldn't help but chuckle twice. "So, what questions did you want to ask just now? I still have a little time before the official rehearsal today."

The rehearsal time is 9:30, and it's not even 9 o'clock yet.

Cara blinked hard and muttered, "Isn't this a dream? Never mind, even if it's a dream, so what!" Cara stepped forward. "We were discussing just now, which of your films is your favorite performance?"

"'The cancer-fighting me'." Without any hesitation, Renly gave the answer directly. In this work, Renly not only tried comedy performances, but also really broke away from the influence of past life memories, returned to reality, and walked wholeheartedly. "My Cancer-fighting Me" is vital to Renly's career as an actor.

Such an unexpected answer suddenly brought everyone back to their senses, "how is it possible", "isn't it 'crazy in love'", "I think 'detachment' is over," "no, no," "it shouldn't be like this"...

The chattering discussion continued, and the scene finally started to get lively again, but Renly was unmoved, and shrugged lightly to show his attitude.

Mark also came back to his senses and shouted again and again, "What about the music? What about the music? Which one is your favorite? Or, which one is the most special?"

"'Cleopatra'." Renly's answer was also very succinct. There was no modesty, no polite refusal, nor did he say "the best is always the next", but simply gave My own answer, "At least, as of today, for me. Before, I didn't taste the true meaning of this song, but after time has settled, its meaning is indeed different."

Renly expressed his opinion earnestly. "Beyond this? Is there anything else?"

"Uh..." Everyone was stunned for a while. The bustling discussion just now was endless, and now it's stuck. Finally, Christine had an idea and shouted, "How does it feel to win the Oscar?"

"Awesome! And then... I really should get back on stage and hone my basics."
